• Mulan: Before the Sword Review

  Mulan has been a symbol of female empowerment since her movie came out, but she has been an inspiration long before the 1998 movie since her legend has been around for centuries. Lin inspired by both her legend and the movie crafts her own tale of Mulan figuring out her destiny before she saves China…

• The Queen’s Council: Rebel Rose Review

  What happens after happily ever after? That’s what this new series focuses on because while the Disney Princesses line are famous for the latter part, being a Princess, but that’s just a stepping stone. After all, most princesses are expected to promoted to queen by marriage or by their own rule. This series delves into…

• Dark Ascension: The Wicked Ones Review

  This new series brings readers the origin stories of some of Disney’s most notorious villains. Okay, they already have several books focusing on this topic but Benway’s book is more focused on a canonical reasoning for how the Tremine sisters became the ugly steps they are. There’s no really lame cause (hello Dalmations pushing Cruella’s…

• Ranking Gallagher Girls

  1. Out of Sight, Out of Time: One of the things I most admire about this series is that it allows Cammie and the other characters grow, maturing with the plots growing increasingly dark as they grow. This would be one of those instances as Cammie has gone on the run from the terrorist organization,…

  Handsome Heroes and Vile Villains: Men in Disney’s Feature Film by Amy M. Davis A semi-sequel to her book Good Girls and Wicked Witches, Davis turns to the portrayal of masculinity in Disney movies from 1934 to 2012.

• Ranking W.I.T.C.H. Arcs

  Yes, W.I.T.C.H. the arguably bit darker, more convulated rival to Winx Club. I enjoyed this one just as much especially the second season of the tv show that was unfortunately cut too soon. At least there’s plenty of comics to enjoy. I also know there’s eleven arcs, but the US has only released the first…

• Loki: Where Mischief Lies Review

  Since I enjoyed Lee’s Gamora and Nebula novel, I decided to check out the first of Marvel Icons. Luckily, I know a little about what Loki does in the MCU since The Avengers is the only MCU movie I’ve seen but that doesn’t matter as this is an origin story where we take a fun…
